Texas Southern University Elevates Flight Training with RealSimGear SR7x Pro Simulators

by Keaton

Texas Southern University Just Took a Giant Step Forward in Flight Training. TSU officially added two RealSimGear SR7x Pro simulators to its aviation program—and it’s not just an equipment upgrade.

It’s a bold move that reflects where TSU is headed: the top tier of collegiate aviation.

A Program on the Rise

TSU’s aviation program has been turning heads across the country. Recently ranked among the Top 50 Aviation and Aerospace Colleges in the U.S., the school has been doubling down on innovation, workforce readiness, and fleet expansion.

In the last year alone:

  • TSU launched its own Flight Training Center at Ellington Field

  • Added brand-new aircraft to its training fleet

  • Upgraded to FAA Part 141 status

  • Received a major financial boost, raising over $100M in funding and grants

And now—with the addition of the RealSimGear SR7x Pro—it’s entering a new phase of realism and accessibility in flight training.

Why the SR7x Pro?

TSU chose the SR7x Pro because it bridges the gap between classroom theory and cockpit reality.

Each unit includes:

  • G2000 displays + GTC touch controllers

  • Force-feedback Cirrus yoke

  • Realistic throttle + avionics layout

  • Instructor station for scenario training

  • FAA AATD Approval

It’s the closest thing to flying a Cirrus G7 without leaving the ground.

And unlike older generation simulators, the SR7x Pro is plug-and-play out of the box—with built-in PC, power management, and robust hardware. No cables to wrangle. No guesswork. Just fly.

What It Means for Students

TSU aviation students will now have access to:

✅ Real-world flight deck procedures
✅ Emergency Scenarios, instrument procedures, and VFR maneuvers 
✅ More loggable hours without burning fuel
✅ Lower-cost, high-frequency training that accelerates skill development

This is how you train smarter. How you increase confidence in the cockpit while maximizing efficiency throughout the fleet. It’s what modern flight education looks like—and TSU is the latest University helping to lead the charge. 

Innovation That Matters

This partnership isn’t just about high-end hardware—it’s about access, preparation, and leadership. Texas Southern University is building a serious pipeline for the next generation of pilots, and RealSimGear is proud to support that mission with tools that make training more immersive, scalable, and effective.

We’re not just delivering simulators. We’re helping shape the future of flight training.

TSU is soaring—and we’re honored to be onboard.
